Update: Igbo Men Donate To Save The Nigerian Man Held As Collateral By The Dreaded Pakistani Gang.

A group of Igbo men have come together to save a Nigerian man who was seen in a viral video being tortured by a dreaded Pakistani gang after his “brother” named Andrew used him as a collateral and absconded without paying the gang back.

The Nigerian man explained that he will be killed on July 10 if Andrew does not pay back what he owes the gang. He then begged his uncle to sell everything they have and pay a man named “Nuruz”.

A group of wealthy Igbo men have now come to his aid and are willing to pay to get him his freedom.

In a video shared online, the Igbo men, one of them a US-based man, explained that they’ve spoken with Nuruz and reasoned with him and he promised to be fair to the Nigerian man and preserve his life. They added that among themselves, they will raise Nuruz’s money and get the Igbo man back home.

“Relax your mind, we’ll raise the money, the men promised.

In the video recorded for the Nigerian man to view, they told him to relax his mind and stop fretting because they are working to get him out. They said Nuruz gave them his word that he will not kill him if payment is made.

Algerian and Angers winger, Farid El Melali was arrested on Wednesday, July 8, for the second time this year for allegedly masturbating in public in France.

Ouest-France reported that the 22-year-old was questioned by local police following a second indecent exposure complaint lodged against the Algerian attacker.

The fresh incident comes two months after he was arrested for this same offense, and was already preparing to face a court hearing later this summer.

El Melali’s lawyer, Sandra Chirac Kollarik, told Ouest-France: ‘Farid El Melali was heard this Wednesday morning by the Angers police services, about acts committed during the recent period of confinement, which he acknowledged, and about which he had already been interviewed before being summoned to court.

‘Once again Farid El Melali answered the questions asked and all the necessary checks could therefore be made, so that his hearing was quickly closed. He renews his sincerest apologies to the women he may have upset with inappropriate attitudes.’

In response to the latest incident, Angers President Fabrice Favetto-Bon said: ‘We believe that we have already made statements on this matter. We heard the player’s apology.

‘Obviously, this type of behaviour, pending the decision of the courts, does not conform with the values of the club and our requirement of players to be examples. The process is ongoing.’

Farid El Melali is expected to make a plea – either guilty or not guilty – when facing a prosecutor on the two complaints of alleged indecent exposure.

In line with article 222-32 of law in France, the footballer risks receiving a one-year prison sentence and a €15,000 (£13,480) fine
